Director Mario Caiano initially wanted to highlight the gory scenes with red color. The idea was dropped due to budget limitations.
Nightmare Castle has been released on DVD by several companies including Severin Films, Alpha Video and Retromedia in the United States. A Blu-ray of the film was released by Severin Films on August 11, 2015. The release includes two extra films starring Barbara Steele: Castle of Blood (1964) and Terror-Creatures from the Grave (1965).
Director Mario Caiano stated that Nightmare Castle was born out of his passion for actress Barbara Steele and the Gothic genre, a style which he began to love between 1943 and '44 when he first read Edgar Allan Poe's work. Caiano said that he was not influenced by director Mario Bava, and did not remember seeing his films at the time with the possible exception of Black Sunday (1960).
Nightmare Castle serves as the inspiration for The Misfits' song Hybrid Moments. During the Chicago reunion performance of the Misfits in April 2019, scenes from Nightmare Castle accompanied the performance of the song.
The audio of Muriel Arrowsmith saying "you're a monster" is used in the song "Godzilla" by Eminem at the very beginning, then again towards the end just saying "monster."
"Muriel Arrowsmith: You had your revenge. Why don't you kill me? Kill both of us. Dr. Stephen Arrowsmith: You, I will kill you, you tart, you. You and your filthy friend. But death, my dear, must come to you only after I've torn from your bodies all the suffering and pain a human being can stand, and you don't know yet how long it takes to die of pain. Muriel Arrowsmith: You're a monster."
"Dr. Stephen Arrowsmith: [to Muriel Arrowsmith] I've asked you before not to come down to my laboratory while I'm busy with my experiments."
